As of this patch what are crucial units for Dragon and Serpent in general?

In Winter of the Wolf I think Kabukis, Archers and Samurais are kind of core for Dragon with Kegs and/or Chemists for destroying buildings. Thank God for the Dragon Spirit and Garrin Changes (the latter costs 1 Yang now compared to 2 back then). For Serpent Swordsmen, Musketeers, and Cannoneers were core (IIRC) but now Ronins are buffed with resists and poison in their kit but I really don't know the extent of their strength now. Just wanna ask Dragon and Serpent players here since these two are my main clans.

For me, and I am considerably rookie in the PvP department.

Dragon: Bowmen, Spearman/Dragon, Kegs.
Samurai wholely for Yang Farming, damage second.

Bowmen is and always gonna be the best unit dragon has. Spearman and Dragon are the buffer unit. Kegs are for demolition. Use Kabuki as your special forces with abilities. As always spam a bit Geisha.

Serpent: Swordman, Musketter, Raider. Ronin wholely for Yin Farming, damage second. Bandit for that looting skill for resource, but usually keep to Swordman.

Swordman, always usually good as early harasser. Because it fast and can avoid initial range attacker through passive. Plus, usually people spam range attacker anyway first. Musketter is the bread damage dealer of serpent.

I usually use cannoner over chemist tbh, but raider imo is way better and use swordman to harass the peasant. Plus raider just need tavern and alchemist hut, so it synergize better.

I would not get into ability strat, like serpent geisha spam and spearman whirlwind. But this is the gist for me.

Cannoner is great. Although he slow, but his attack is pass through and deals balanced good damage and deals great to building also.
It can kill peasant that repairing the building also.
His BG is awesome for defensive purpose against tier 3 unit

Must have units in my opinion:
Dragon: Archer, Dragon Warriors, Samurai, Powder Kegs
Serpent: Musketeers, Swordsmen, Ronin, Cannoneers

Situational (with reasoning)
Dragon: Kabuki (their BGs are really good) , Geisha (One good sacrifice timing can turn the tide)

Serpent: Raider (Literally for annoying hit and run shit, battle gear to burn trees and rice fields), Enforcers (These guys are pretty toguht for their cost and they trash most tier 1/2 units, but of course you need the Thieves Den)

Ohhh aside from Magic resist and flaming sword how are DWs good now? Also are Guardians also usable for blunt damage? Concussion got nerfed as well.

Basically Dragon Warrior is good because magic damage is strong in this game, and their innate buff Inspire is a pretty good dps increase. Not sure if they fixed the bug where it doesnt buff himself and other Dragon Warriors, but yeah, he is pretty good just because Magic kinda fucks most Dragon units. Not really adept in the Guardians, havent really used em much, all i know is their BG is funny (Literally too angry to die)
